Description:

Rare Disease Day is the globally-coordinated movement on rare diseases, working towards equity in social opportunity, healthcare, and access to diagnosis and therapies for people living with a rare disease.

On Wednesday, Feb. 28, from noon - 1 p.m. in School of Medicine 122, join us for a patient panel and bale sale. The profits of the bake sale will help support RARE Science, the company that makes "RARE Bears" and distributes them to children with rare diseases all over the world.
